New Yes, I did. And at one point
I'd walk around the corner to the local smoke shop that also acted as a payment center for the electric company (and others) and pay cash.

New Yeah, well
I lived on eggs (cheapest most digestible cost effective protein) and mac and cheese (box crap) for a few years.

I always PRESENTED well though, no matter what the situation. During "job training" when I was about 19, we were in a presentation on how to interview. Large crowd with a single speaker. I was in the front row.

I had no experience, a poor high school education (was thrown out about 1/2 way though, but still got a diploma), no training, no nothing. I was a lost cause.

Speaker: When you are in an interview situation, you need to appear relaxed and confident, like you are interviewing them, not the other way around. You do NOT need the money. You need to NEVER appear needy or desperate. You MUST sit a certain way, and look a certain way for the best possible impression.

He then pointed at me, and said:

Do what he is doing right now.

It seems like I relax like a rich confident guy when I'm watching an lecture.
